SH is in the wrong bucket

Yes, sometimes I forget the obvious. Fixed with a different Steven.

Am I missing something? There's no SH in what GP said. What does SH even mean?
reply
Guessing SH meant Steven Hawking, who kicked the bucket. Metaphorically.

trees can be considered intelligent, trees show complex adaptive behavior that can reasonably be called a basic form of intelligence, but not a human-like intelligence,

I do get your point though and can see what you're trying to say, it is interesting indeed. There is however a detail that seems important to me, who is the driver? There is no agency is there? So its just fishing for data, so its a different type, just like trees are from us. I see them more like a very compressed "book of everything" that you can spin in "infinite" ways to get your desired outcomes. So yeah, definitely not alive, intelligent? Not like our intelligence.
